Today Ape to Gentleman has a prize for all would be collectors, Gentlemen and lovers of fine drink. Of all cognac to be exported, only 17% is legally recognised as Fine Champagne Cognac [1. Source: BNIC shipments 2004] and furthermore 80% of all Fine Champagne Cognac shipped from the region is produced by none other than Rémy Martin.

In 1731, French monarch Louis the Fifteenth decreed that no new vines could be planted without royal permission in an attempt to avoid over-production. Large fines would be assessed on any proprietor who did so. Despite this decree, Rémy Martin had already become a favourite of kings and the upper echelon of society and he was granted dispensation. In 1738, King Louis XV exceptionally granted Rémy Martin a warrant to expand his vineyard; it proved a crucial point in Rémy history and in the continued expansion of the Rémy Martin cognac empire.
